Yeap.  I need to apologize here, because the first mail that I received after subscribing and sending my email actually contained a link to the solution.  And I was too stupid to type the right key words into the search box of Google. :-(  

I have now changed /etc/nsswitch.conf and now everything works fine again, at the expense of not querying the AD anymore.  This seems to work fine for now, but I might run into issues later.

I have run mkgroup over night to see what's going on, and our company AD contains more than 22k groups (I aborted it after a while, the number might even be bigger).

I'll try that!  Thanks!

I wasn't subscribed to this list :-).
